Robotwar: 2684
About the Game
In the year 2684, the humans create the Robotrons: a robot species so advanced that they are inferior to their own creation. Guided by their infallible logic, the Robotrons conclude: the human race is inferior, and therefore MUST BE DESTROYED! And so begins the great RobotWar of 2684...
You are the last hope for mankind. Due to a genetic error, you possess super human powers and set out to battle the Robotrons and save the last human family.
Do you have the skills to defeat all 256 waves of Robotrons and restore peace to your home planet?
GOOD LUCK!
